Which one?

[WildRhino]

Looking for graphics card,budget £100 ($150).Mainly Counter Strike orientated on an Abit KT7A-R with duron @840.O/cing WILL be the order of the day!

Probably want Hercules MX retail (surely OEM better due to reduced cost and can be o/c'd to 183mhz+?)

Heard of Suma mx cards at low cost and high quality.

What is the best option for graphics;can I get a radeon 32 for that money and can threy compete with the mx's.Are the mx's best option or an old geforce 1 DDR?

Help appreciated.

Sunway <A HREF="http://www.sg3d.com" target="_new">http://www.sg3d.com</A> has a good GF DDR for 128 USD. Just stay with Nvidia, and I would recommend the GF DDR cause the memory bandwidth is about twice that of the MX and mem b/w is where the bottlenecks are in today's cards. Take-Out

Thats a good price for a GF2 card. Can also get a Radeon LE for $82 shipped to your door for free, $177 for Radeon 64 with $8 shipping:

Get the facts on the GF2 card and Radeon before you purchase. One may be better than the other for you, just remember only you can decide which one will suit your needs. Here is a good honest review comparing them both with recent drivers each having strong and weak points:

Have any questions just ask.
